Re: Tumbleweed - H264 Codec

Running the most recent snapshot of Tumbleweed here. GNOME3 "Videos" will not work regardless of what codecs you install, because it's most likely not compiled with support for those codecs. If VLC doesn't work for some reason, I recommend the CLI multimedia player mpv. For me it always works .

Re: Tumbleweed - H264 Codec

adding packman and installing a few packages is not enough you need to replace all multimedia packages ie do a full vendor change
so tell us your repo list

Code:

zypper lr -d

I haven't used gnome in ages but totem (or gnome videos) is not compiled with codecs it uses gstreamer as a multimedia (codec) backend that being said a full vendor change will get working version of gstreamer
TW users after initial configuration need to run zypper as

Code:

zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change

as zypper dup pulls then newest packages from any repo and will replace working packman packages with restricted ones from OSS

Repository priorities are without effect. All enabled repositories share the same priority.

Re: Tumbleweed - H264 Codec

packman should have a higher priority then the oss repo try

Code:

zypper mr -p 90 1

the above will set packman to priority 90 (in opensuse smaller means higher priority 1 is top 99 is bottom)
to get multimedia working (totem playing video's) do a full vendor change with packman (repo #1)
